Rider Haggard]]’s ''[[Allan Quatermain]]'' (1919), directed by [[H. Lisle Lucoque]].  [[A.O. Glisson]] and [[Florence Roberts]] played her parents.  She must have had some talent as a dancer, because in 1926 she won a charleston competition and at one stage toured with [[Ronald Frankau]]’s Cabaret Kittens.  She does not seem to have featured in any other films, but her third husband, [[Dirk Illing]], had acted in ''[[Die Bou van ‘n Nasie]]'' ([[Joseph Albrecht]] & [[Andries A.
